Silent Auction to Benefit Park Honoring Mary: 10 AM- 3 PM

The Radford Photo Club will sponsor a silent auction during the Mary Draper Ingles Festival on Saturday, July 26. Many members of the club will donate at least one framed photo to be part of the fundraiser.  The photos will be displayed on tables next to the Event Tent.  Those bidding will place their name, phone number and bid on a sheet for the specific photo that they want. At 3 p.m. that day, the bid sheets will be collected, and the winner of the photos called.  They will be asked to pay their bid and pick up the photo at Glencoe Mansion. All proceeds raised will be used for continuing the growth and preservation of the Mary Draper Ingles Cultural Heritage Park located adjacent to the museum. Linda Waggaman, a member of the Radford Heritage Foundation, is coordinating the event.
